How you see work in compliance,provision and consulting(tax)? Any preference or pros& cons?

Compliance is boring and is being pressured hard to push manual tasks to automation or less expensive labor (India).

Provision will always be important but boring and reminiscent of audit.

Consulting hours are unpredictable but more valuable work. Harder to break into but more rewarding.

You can also do provision consulting. It’s definitely not like audit because you are the one assisting the client with actually preparing it rather than reviewing / auditing it.
